'Speak Out' reinstates Leanne Mohamad's video on Palestine

Freedom of Speech on Palestine - A step towards peace

Peace in Our Name

2 Jun 2016 — We're delighted to say that Leanne's powerful speech has been added back to the Speak Out Challenge website, LINK:

We
received over 7,000 signatures pledging their support. In addition to
having the video made visible once more on the Speak Out website,
Leanne’s video has been seen by over 55,000 people and been featured on
news websites across the world.

WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW?

Leanne's message of birds, not bombs, and an end to apartheid is an important one.

The
censorship of her video is indicative of a wider censorship of
Palestinian issues and the punishment of anyone who speaks out for
Palestine.

To show your support for freedom of speech, please
take the time to read, sign and share our new petition addressing these
wider issues at

The Jack Petchey Awards website published this comment when it reinstated the video:

Following temporary suspension to safeguard a minor, we are now able
to reinstate the video of our Redbridge Regional Final champion Leanne
Mohamad, with authorisation from her family. Please see here for further information.

Leanne Mohamad of Wanstead High School was crowned the winner at the
2015-16 “Speak Out” Challenge! Redbridge Regional Final with a speech
entitled ‘Birds Not Bombs’ – Congratulations!
